The ITV presenter and model lost her own mother, Paula, to a fatal drug overdose in 2000, when she was just 11.

She spoke to Elle magazine in 2012 about the difficulties of accepting her death.

“I remember the day my mother died, and it’s still hard to talk about it. I just blocked it out. I went to school the next day because my father’s mentality was ‘keep calm and carry on’,” she revealed.

“So we all went to school and tried to act as if nothing had happened. But it had happened. I didn’t grieve. I didn’t cry at her funeral. I couldn’t express anything because I was just numb to it all. I didn’t start grieving for my mother properly until I was maybe 16.”

The last tweet posted by Peaches was on Sunday. It was a photo of herself as a baby in her mother’s arms.
